i LOVE Naruto because it's fulled with action and sadness and also it shows every character's story that's filled with a reason as to why they do the actions they do. As for the character, to me he symbolizes determination and tries to tell others and proves to others that people can do and achieve something if they try. giving up isn't a good solution to come to.

The storyline is actually very good, contrary to what the haters say, it has very good fighting scenes for the most part and the characters are interesting, well desigined and interact well (with the exception of Sakura). I think most of the hatred people have for it stems from the dub version, the fillers and amount of fanboys who don't have an objectionable view of the series and just say "Cause it's cool/awesome" or something equally moronic.
